With the emphasis on gala, this annual affair is a night of well-dressed fun! The annual gala and auction is a fundraising event for educational program enhancements at Concordia and to support the school’s student-founded charity, The Yunnan Education Project. Dedicated parents collaborate, plan and work many hours to throw Concordia’s party of the year where the entire community comes together to celebrate and support the school. The adults in the community change up their everyday wear for some sophisticated style and mingle among the guests, dine on elegant foods, outbid their friends on coveted silent auction items, cheer on the live auction bidders, possibly win the surprise pay to play, and to dance the night away. It is the best of both worlds—great fun for a great cause!
